Mother and me: Justin Bieber showed his affection for mother Pattie Mallette as they left the Late Show with David Letterman in New York last night

He is followed everywhere he goes by crowds of screaming girls, and has flirted outrageously with a series of famous older women including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry.

But last night Justin Bieber reminded everyone exactly who is the number one woman in his life by cuddling up to his beloved mother Pattie.

The pop star and his 34-year-old mother were leaving the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York where he had just taped an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.

The 16-year-old was dressed in his trademark jeans, high top runners and jacket with the collar pulled up, while Pattie was dressed more appropriately for the bitter New York weather in a puffy coat and scarf.

While he has been seen on dates with Disney star Selena Gomez in recent months, mother Pattie - who raised him alone - is his number one.

Miss Mallette appeared to be enjoying the affectionate display from her son who is at an age when many boys wouldn't be caught dead cuddling their mother in public.

The single mother, who had Justin when she was 18, accompanies him everywhere and ensures that he remains down to earth despite his huge fame.

The Baby singer recently revealed to BBC Radio 1 host Fearne Cotton that he is prone to the same punishments and squabbles with his mother as any other teen.

He said: 'We argue yes, I think every parent and son argue, but I love my mom.

I think it’s good she travels me, but sometimes I need a break because I’m with her 24/7 but I love her, I like being with her.

'The other day she cancelled my phone plan. We got into an argument about something stupid, and she was like, "Give me the phone" and I was like, "No", so she just went and cancelled it.'

And appearing on David Letterman's show tonight, the 11th form student told how he is made to do his school studies for three hours a day.
